This medicine Buddha practice was revealed by Guru Padmasambhava directly into the mind of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche who was a recognized and prophesized terton. Because of the aspiration of Guru Padmasambhava cojoining with the aspiration of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, this practice is extremely concise and potent, able to radiate multitudes of blessings and realizations for those who practice it for the benefit of all sentient beings.

His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche (1904-1987) was the head of the Nyingma lineage during his lifetime. He was a treasure revealer, teacher, and poet; he also built monasteries, retreat centers, and stupas.
